Posh Toad in the Hole

May 5, 2015May 5, 20156 Comments

I realise that this title may mean absolutely nothing to the vast majority of you. Toad in the Hole is a simple and very British dish that is hearty and comforting. The key to making the dish posh and also incredible is to use the best quality streaky bacon and sausages you can lay your … Continue reading Posh Toad in the Hole

Umbrella sharing and other British problems

December 14, 201428 Comments

So here I am standing on a train platform in what can only be described as monsoon like conditions with no wet weather protection. I am without; umbrella or jacket, waterproof or hat. Stood there between men and women with almighty great umbrellas, space in abundance but do they offer you space to shield a … Continue reading Umbrella sharing and other British problems

My Olympics – Cauldron

September 14, 20127 Comments

To me the cauldron symbolised the Olympic spirit and all that is good about the world. The cauldron consisted of 204 copper petals, each representing one of the competing nations. They were brought into the stadium by each team as part of the athletes’ procession and each was taken back home by the countries. A … Continue reading My Olympics – Cauldron
